EMD vs. GE

Here we go the ultimate flame board!!![}:)]

Mark me down for EMD.

Maple vs. Rosewood. I like rosewood, with jumbo frets on my Strat.

Oh, EMD of course. I continue to be a lifelong EMD fan, but GE makes a good locomotive too, and the railroads would be kinda boring with only one locomotive manufacturer.

Every switching crew I’ve ever talked to would run an EMD before a GE, due to their ride and their load times.

My favorite locomotive is a GP60 but the SD70ACe is catching up. I always also did like the GE Dash-8 “Pepsi Cans” that Amtrak had/has. But only in their original paint - there was just something about them that screamed “Awesome”.

Alco’s baby. Gotta love the lope and smoke.

Ok. I’d have to kick in for the EMD’s.

Well, here we go yet again…BOOOOOORRRRRRRIIIIINNNNNGGGGGG.

If it has steel wheels rolling on steel rail, it’s for me!

There. That ought to be enough to get us started. Any other suggestions?

You forgot this one: FM vs. the real world

Forgot Allegheny vs. Big Boy which today might be -

Does a NS Dash-9 have more TE, HP, etc. than a UP Dash-9?

EMD did give us the SDXX series, which aren’t bad. However I do like the -9’s! I’ll go 60% GE, 40% EMD

Zardoz,

I’m always up for a good round of Canon ~vs~ Nikon! [}:)]

Kramer vs Kramer???

or how about The Crown vs Jampton (although that’s one we’d sooner forget)

Yo vota para General Electrico.

How about vs.

I got dibs on the green guy.

I vote EMD. I like the sound of the engines better. Although the AC44’s looked real goond ing the CNW ligntning stripe and SP speed lettering.

I’ve always been a huge EMD fan, but GE does build pretty good locomotives. I’d go 70% EMD, 30% GE. I don’t hate GE by any means, but bad-mouth EMD and I get nasty![}:)][;)]

When I was growing up GEs were extreamly rare on the SP lines near where I lived (Coast,Bay Area,Modoc). So I would have to say EMDs because that’s what I grew up with.

I’ll vote for Baldwin. You can’t beat the profile of a Shark Nose. [:D]

I can’t believe I forgot that one! Duh!

Yin vs Yang

Nature vs Nurture

EMD vs GE, hmmm…Neither, Give me a Baldwin over both any day!!

Grew up in a GM family, so the leaning is toward EMD. But I do like those Alcos!
